Trading Rules
Challenge position limits scale by tier: 3 minis / 30 micros (Beginner), 6 / 60 (Intermediate), 9 / 90 (Advanced) — the same for One-Phase and Two-Phase. Trade League has a flat cap of 9 contracts with no minis/micros split.

Position limits depend on the product and tier.
Challenges (One-Phase and Two-Phase — same limits)
| Tier | Account | Max minis | Max micros |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | $50,000 | 3 | 30 |
| Intermediate | $100,000 | 6 | 60 |
| Advanced | $150,000 | 9 | 90 |
The limits apply per account, across all open positions at once. Minis and micros scale at 10:1 — a Beginner account can hold up to 3 minis or 30 micros.
Trade League
9 contracts, flat. There is no separate minis/micros split — the cap is 9 contracts total regardless of contract size.

- Are there daily loss limits?No. No TradeSport product has a daily loss limit — not One-Phase challenges, not Two-Phase challenges, not Trade League. The only loss rules are each product's max loss / drawdown.
- Can I appeal a disqualification?Disqualification decisions are discretionary under the governing terms, and the reason is shared where possible. There's no formal appeals process, but if you believe a decision was made in error, contact support@trade-sport.com with your account details and the review can be revisited with any information you provide.
- Can I use trading bots or automated strategies?No. All trading must be manual — automated trading systems, bots, and algorithmic strategies are prohibited on every TradeSport account, with no approval path. Discretionary use of standard platform tools — alerts, bracket orders, and similar — is allowed.
- How does the consistency rule work?One-Phase: no single day's profit may exceed 30% of the current payout cycle's profit target. Two-Phase: no single day's profit may exceed 40% of total eval profit (eval phase) or 40% of the current milestone's profit requirement (funded phase). The window resets after every payout. Trade League has no consistency rule.
- How does the drawdown work? (trailing vs. locked)Challenge accounts use an intraday trailing drawdown until your first payout (or first milestone payout on Two-Phase), then the floor permanently locks at your starting balance plus $100 and stops trailing. Trade League uses a different mechanic: a Limited End-of-Day trailing drawdown plus a $2,000 intraday max loss. No TradeSport product uses a static drawdown.
